Fiddys : EL #117 vs current #117 serial?

[hongkytonkman]

Hi dear all,

I've acquired a Eddie Lee #117, and have a few questions..

I've heard there were a few versions of this (V1~4),

and I'm not sure which one it is.

It has the incorrect E 'square' engraved bridges(incorrect to gen bridge), and non dagger swiss movement.

Which version is this?

I'll post pics soon..

How are the Eddie Lee's #117/1500 serial different from the current 117s available?
I've noticed differences in case/dial/hands.. but how about the case itself?

Thanks in advance.

HKT

The "good" EL Fiddy (not sure which version it was) used cases that were very crisp/sharp edged, like the gen. It also had a dial with the correct fonts and color, as well as the correct dome shape to the crystal and the correct visual "break" at the edges because of the correct shape.

Post up some pics!

You can't, he's retired from selling reps, now.

Sorry. Even if you could, the "EL" version of this watch isn't being made anymore. It wasn't really *his* version, he was just the first dealer to sell that version.
